Asha Dandiya 2015 - Dance for a cause!

Asha for Education, Stanford chapter is organising a fund raising event, Asha Dandiya 2015. Dandiya Raas or Raas is a traditional fold dance form of the state of Gujarat, India. The dance form can be simple to complex and is typically performed with two colorfully decorated sticks also called dandiyas. Asha dandiya 2015 will be performed under open sky.

All proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Borderless World Foundation, an organization supported by Asha for Education, that has been transforming the lives of orphaned girls in the Kashmir valley for more than fifteen years.

The founder of Borderless World Foundation, Adhik's journey to the Kashmir valley is extremely inspiring. It takes a special person to give everything he has, and then some more, to bring happiness to these kids. The video describes the project some more : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZBKfFaMKss
